A couple of days ago on the 24th February 2026 precisely, the Splinterlands team announced the launch of the Escalation mini-set in their official discord server. The team mentioned that the packs can now be opened. Players are advised to power up thier collections and make the best out of it. It was also announced that the 8th Conclave Arcana conflict card will be launched soon too. A Legendary Death Archon called Brave the bull is coming. Some gameplay updates were also announced which includes the Champion 1 matchmaking, the matchmaking wait time has been reduced extremely. Additionally, a new ruleset has been introduced. In the Junior Varsity, players are only able to summon Unit and Archon cards which have a MANA of 6 or less. The Splinterlands Music NFT which is called Splintervibes also has a restock. The FRONTIER MINOR chests and Jackpots have new tracks now. There are 10 fresh tracks in the Splintervibes which can be purchased with various currencies.
It might also interest you to know that the Conclave Arcana countdown has been activated so it is only a few days left before the offer expires. A phoenic ash update has also been added to Splinterlands so players can now make use of it via their card collection in order to eradicate land cooldowns. For those who missed this information yesterday, the SPS burned leaderboard has been updated and there is a GLINT reward pool for those who make the cut on the leaderboard.
